Chapter 20 Annoying Glare
It was around 7:33 when they went off their rooms, and they headed to the canteen immediately. Once there, they sat and began to eat.
Though, Kye didn't touch anything on his plate except water.
"Kye, why aren't you eating anything. Is it because of yesterday?" Ven asked while drinking his juice.
"No, nothing like that," Kye answered. "It's just that food doesn't... attract me as much as before."
"Is it because you're an ang..." Ven said, but Yugo closed his mouth just before he could continue.
"Ven? Are you sure you remembered what we spoke about yesterday?" He said with a vein appearing in his head.
"I mean... yes, you're right, I should be more careful. Especially when there are that many people here."
Seeing them, Kye scratched his cheek a little with his finger. It was funny to see that he now had friends with whom he could share something, unlike before. And that was a pleasant feeling.
And as they continue eating, people began to glance at them from time to time, whereas some completely looked at them. And they paid particular attention to Kye.
And so for two reasons.
The first one, as always, was because of the level difference between Yugo and Ven, with Kye. The former were both high levels, so they were normal to stay together. But Kye was only level one, so it was quite strange to see him smile and laugh with high-level people. Some people even asked themselves if it wasn't a facade and in reality, they were bullying him, but it was only an assumption, so they couldn't know.
As for the second reason, it was because Kord hadn't been seen since yesterday. And the last person with whom he had an affair was Kye. So they wanted to know where he was, especially his friends. They wanted to go and beat Kye to have some answers, but there were two people by his side who scared them. After all, Yugo and Ven had sent them to the hospital, so even though they might have been just bullying him, it was just a possibility. It could as be that they were friends, and it would be disastrous if they landed a hand on Kye.
They had experienced it once already yesterday, and they didn't want to go to the hospital again. So in the end, they just glare at them but didn't do anything.
Yugo and Ven didn't care about people looking at them. But it wasn't the case for Kye. He didn't like being in the middle of the attention, so he tried to make himself as tiny as possible while not alerting his friends. They seems to know a lot about him and how he would react, so he still tried to act normal.
But to no avail.
He hadn't done it a lot of times, but every time Kye was perplexed or in a situation he didn't like, he was playing with his hair. And since he was doing it right now, Yugo and Ven knew that it was time to go.
And it was already 7:50 am, so they needed to go to class anyway.
"Come on Kye, we should go now or we will be late."
"Ah, yeah, sure I'm coming."
Before going to their classroom, Yugo and Ven accompanied Kye to his class first. They didn't want him to have any problems with people, so it was the best thing they could possibly do.
"Kye, you're not going anywhere without us, is that clear?" Yugo said.
"Sure mom, I will wait for you," Kye chuckled.
"Kye, I'm serious right now. Don't joke around.
Hearing that, Kye said, "Okay, I'm sorry, I will wait for you then," Before entering his classroom.
"Do you think he will stay there without doing anything?" Ven asked as they headed to their classroom.
"I can only hope for that, but there isn't a lot of chance for that," Yugo answered with a sad smile. "You had seen it with your own eyes, he managed to win against a level 3 alone. So he would probably think that he would be untouchable for a certain time. So we need to do our best to avoid him getting in trouble."
As he said, when people managed to do something they never did, they feel like they have wings. But this feeling was only an illusion. Human beings couldn't fly by their own means. So when they tried, they were forced to fall down.
And it was the same now. The adrenaline of fighting and winning could go into Kye's head, and if they didn't want him to get into serious trouble or life and death situations, Yugo and Ven needed to watch over him at a certain time.
And it wasn't as if they didn't want to. They had a hard time yesterday when they were seeing Kye dying in front of them, so they didn't want to see him like this again. So if they could help him in any way possible, they would be glad to do so.
Though, Kye knew very well how dangerous it could be to feel too full of himself.
He had been punched pretty hard under the adrenaline, and he didn't forget that feeling yet.
But even with that, it was true that he wanted to fight again.
He even get a sword that came from heaven, so he wanted to know how to use it and fight with it. He was sure that it would be something amazing the moment he will know how to use it at its full potential. So he wanted to level up quickly to see what was its effect.
And the only way he knew to level up was to fight. So even though his friends wanted him to avoid fights and getting into trouble, he didn't want to.
He won't be able to stand proudly if he were to stay at a low level all his life. So now that he had the means to fight, he wanted to level up and discover the real world.
But for now, the only thing he was about to discover was an annoying lecture about science.
Almost no one was listening, and so did he.
Kye was only thinking of his next class, the weapon class.
He wasn't seeing himself in the ability class because he was known as a Kye without ability. So the only option was to go to the weapon class.
Not that he had a lot of choices now anyway.
Heaven had given him a sword, and if he didn't go there, it would be hard to use it because he didn't know anything about swords. So the best option even if he had an ability would still be the weapon class.
So the first period passed very, very slowly, and lunch finally came. And after that, the real class would begin.
